I bought metric taps and dies, a whole new set. I may have to get a bigger one for the fork tube threads. Or make one.

Yes, it has been pointed out already. More than once.

That's on the list for future fettling.

It's for carrying pipe lagging.

New cassette and chain from the LBS. And a set of crivit panniers from Lidl for 9.99. No idea how long they'll last but they seem more than decent at that price.

Very good. The pipe lagging is actually for an extension bar setup that matches PBP rules. Takes up less space than arm rests but gives good support to arms.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

New brake pads for the Allez. Not fitted them yet, I think the existing ones are good for a few more miles yet

 

[pedalspinner2019]

4 new bottle cage bolts, a new seat post clamp. A jacket (Altura) and a bottle cage. €88 later... And I only wanted the cage bolts.

New to this site. Tomorrow picking up my new Giant Liv Tempt3 bike. Survived a heart attack exactly a month ago. This is my third bike I will own.
